Download search by meaning?

Optional, experimental search of recording descriptions—not the audio itself. It works best with English queries.

First use in this tab downloads about 25 MB of model weights plus runtime files from Hugging Face and its runtime CDN. Your query is processed on this device, not sent to an AI service. No paid API is used; downloads and device resources still apply.

After downloading, search by meaning stays active for searches in this tab. Autosuggest shows when it is active. Choose Stop to turn it off, cancel pending work and remove the model from this tab’s memory. Reloading starts in keyword mode. We do not deliberately save a persistent model cache; your browser may cache downloaded files.

Similarity never means copyright clearance. Original source rights and all active filters still apply.
